Advent’s “Turn Heirs Into Clients” whitepaper is here to help.
Change is coming. Now is the time to start cultivating relationships with the children of your clients. According to a recent report from Cerulli Associates, over the next 25 years, baby boomers will pass along nearly $68 trillion in assets to their heirs and charities. This means not only will you be dealing with new clients, but also that these clients come with new expectations.
Keeping your clients’ heirs is by no means a sure thing. In fact, a whopping two-thirds of children fire their parents’ advisors after receiving an inheritance, says Investment News. To make matters more dire, millennial investor attrition risk is four times higher than other generations, according to J.D. Power.
The time to act is now. The trend is already in motion. More than half of all RIAs had clients pass away in 2016 and they cited it as the most common cause of client attrition, explained another Cerulli study. But thanks to Advent’s new whitepaper, the path to retaining current clients’ heirs is easier to navigate.
The “Turn Heirs Into Clients” whitepaper lays out what is important to the next generation of clients and what they are looking for in an advisor. For millennials and Generation X, strong returns may not be enough. Did you know that a company’s track record in environmental, social, and governance is an important investment consideration among those groups? That’s just the sort of information that Advent’s whitepaper provides.
